Chapter Fifteen

MICHAEL GRABBED MAGGIE’S coat from the closet. What if something was wrong with the baby? Headaches could mean high blood pressure. Maybe he should have Lucas check her out before they left… or swing by the ER on the way home. Nothing could happen to the baby… or Maggie.

He wrapped her coat around her shoulders where she stood with his parents. “Ma, Dad. Sorry to cut it short. Maggie’s tired.”

He kissed his mom and she patted him on the cheek. “That’s all right, honey. I remember what it was like being pregnant. You just get her home, prop her feet up, and pamper her a bit. She deserves it.”

Evelyn turned toward Maggie. “Maggie, it was so nice to meet you… and welcome to the family.”

Maggie nodded and headed toward the door.

As soon as they stepped around the corner, Maggie spun around. Her brows shot down like darts between her eyes and her lips were pursed. Her jaw ticked as she glared at him. “What in the hell did you just tell your family?”

What was she all fire mad about? They’d been thrilled that Maggie was having a baby, like he’d expected. And Maggie had been having fun. He could tell. When did that change? “What did I say?”

“You told your brother that we’re getting married… loud enough for the entire family to hear.” She marched toward the car and he hustled to catch up.

Why was she pissed at him? Marriage would prove he wouldn’t leave her like she feared. But instead of being happy, she was mad. “Oh, that. It’s not like we haven’t talked about it. It makes sense, Maggie. I mean, come on. We’re great together and we’re having a baby. Why shouldn’t we get married?”

She spun around and poked her finger into his chest. “Why? Because I don’t love you… and right now, I don’t even like you very much. You had no business telling them that. That’s not what we agreed to.” She threw up her hands and scoffed. “I should have known. All of this, the dates, the dinners, you were just biding your time until you could spring this on me in a situation where I couldn’t possibly deny it. It was all a game to you, wasn’t it?”

Of course not. But the fact she’d reacted so harshly had him concerned. He wanted to edge her in the right direction, and instead they seemed further apart than ever. He opened the door so Maggie could slide into the SUV. He then stepped beside her. “This is not a game. I thought we were on the same page and all you needed was a little nudge.”

She yanked on the door handle and practically shoved him out of the way. “That just goes to show how little we know each other. Now are you going to take me home or am I going to have to call someone to come get me?”

“I’ll take you home.” He closed the door and ran his fingers through his hair.
